Hi Pirate!
To add my 2 cents: While it is good when the package manager has a built-in unzip function and extra features to keep your DOS installation well-structured, it also is desirable to have a normal ZIP and UNZIP tool around as part of the install boot disks. The next question is which version you would boot on 8086: Only there, having a 16-bit version of ZIP and UNZIP makes sense. For newer computers and all boot-from-CD/DVD and boot-from-USB DOS installer images, the 32-bit version will be better :-) Regards, Eric PS: Thanks Tom et al for improving FDISK!!
